二、解题思路

经济学和心理学类似，主要按照托福听力文章最常见的行文思路，即术语解释加例子来例证主旨，所以通过前面积累的笔记法可以对此类文章进行把握。

三、例题分析

TPO 6 Lecture 1 Economics

文章分析：

主题： 运用了第三种结构 （用熟悉的事件引出主题）

教授讲了一些关于 现在dot crash 的事件。当然这个事件引出 boom and bust.然后呈现的是大家对这个事件的想法和观点 原文：You’d think that by the 90s, people would have learned from the past. If they did, well, look at tulips.

细节题：之后文中回到18世纪的时间有关tulips。文中可以很明显的听到教授在介绍tulips其中包括他的生活栖息地，里面运用了大家普遍的错误认知，然后再进行纠正。这个也是在动植物学比较容易考的点

译文：Student

Tulips? You mean like the flower?

Professor

Exactly. For instance, do you have any idea where tulips are from? Originally I mean.

Student

Well, the Netherlands, right?

Professor

That’s what most people think, but no. They are not native to the Netherlands, or even Europe. Tulips actually hail from an area that Chinese call the Celestial Mountains in Central Asia. A very remote mountainous region. It was Turkish nomads who first discovered tulips and spread them slowly westward.

后续：文章有穿插了其背景知识-当然讲座也把这个知识点当做一个考点。人们对TULIPS的看法

译文：

The first bulb to show up in the Netherlands, the merchant who received them roasted and ate them!. He thought they were kind of onion.

接下来 文中提到3个原因说明经济为什么会增长，这题也是全文的难点，在听的过程中要听到3个理由，其中会有很明显的提示词:

第一个理由: 用not only…but also

第二个理由： 用 plus

第三个理由：用 finally

笔记的过程中只需记到后面的关键词汇即可，因为后面运用了大量解释，解释的作用就是让文章更加容易懂。

之后当BOOM的3个理由达成后，接下来就要讲诉bust 的原因。

其手法和事前的boom 是一样的。

文章的难点就是在提出了出现了选3个答案，和2个答案。

Describe a useful website that you visited

You should say:

What it is

What the contents of the websites are

How often you go to this website

How this website helps you

Speaking of a useful website I visited, I’d like to describe a health Q&A website which was established by my university. As we known, not all the university has its official health website, but the university authority claimed that recently the health center had become overcrowded and there was a university located in another city, faced a similar situation a few years ago, and what they did was to established an internet question website, as a result, few students visited their healthy center. Therefore my university wanted to follow the action and immediately built the internet question website.

The website is well-written and well-design, the main function of the website is providing answers to common medical questions posted by students, and also there is always some medical information and health articles updated by the website, students can even make appointments with the healthy center doctors via the website

I occasionally visit the website to ask health questions and sometimes make an appointment with the school doctor and the website really helpful and informative

Firstly, it’s very convenient, when I felt sick, I just posted questions online and the website would offer me the feedbacks, so I didn’t need to go to health center and wait for a line, you know, it was very troublesome to visit school healthy center, because the numbers of students increased year by year, but the doctors in healthy center has maintained the same. So the website solved the problem

Secondly, there are many health articles and information updated by the website, for example, like “Rise in pets as therapy” Or “is honey
